by151. Meet Leng Qingqiu
Shen family.
Shen Qinglan rarely returned home, but unfortunately, everyone except Shen Qian was there.
“Sister is back.” Shen Xitong said with a smile, just like usual.
Shen Qinglan glanced at her sideways. Wasn’t it true that she didn’t even bother to do the superficial work last time she came back? Why did she do it again now?
Shen Xitong had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood. He didn’t mind at all that Shen Qinglan ignored him as always.
“Lanlan.” Shen Junyu called her, Shen Qinglan glanced at him, Shen Junyu shook his head and said it was okay, so she went upstairs to find Mr. Shen. She came back to see her grandpa today.
“Grandpa.” Mr. Shen was not in the study, so Shen Qinglan knocked on the door of his room.
“Come in.” Mr. Shen’s voice came from the room.
Shen Qinglan pushed the door open and saw Mr. Shen standing in front of the cabinet, seemingly putting something in the drawer. She took a look and saw from the exposed corner that it was a photo album, a photo album of Mr. Shen and Grandma Shen.
Shen Qinglan’s eyes dimmed, and she stepped forward to hold Mr. Shen’s arm, “Grandpa, I will accompany you to visit grandma tomorrow.” She hadn’t visited grandma in the cemetery for a long time.In fact, after Grandma Shen was buried in the cemetery, Shen Qinglan rarely visited her grandma. It wasn’t that she didn’t miss her, but that she cared too much. Even though she was used to seeing life and death, she still felt pain deep in her heart when she looked at Grandma Shen’s cold tombstone.
Mr. Shen patted her hand and said, “Don’t go now. Don’t worry. Grandpa is fine. I just miss your grandma a little. Talk to her. Why are you back?”
“I haven’t seen you for a few days, so I came back to see you.” Shen Qinglan explained.
Mr. Shen smiled with a gentle smile, “Grandpa is in good health, you don’t have to worry. Have you eaten?” It was already past lunch time, and Mr. Shen was worried that his granddaughter would be hungry.
“I came here after eating out with friends.”
Mr. Shen nodded, “That’s good. You haven’t been to school recently?”
“Well, I’ve pretty much taken care of the school stuff. I’ve been at home lately.”
Grandparents and grandson chatted about their parents. Although Mr. Shen asked about trivial matters, Shen Qinglan still answered patiently.
This conversation lasted until the evening, and Shen Qinglan definitely wanted to stay for dinner.
“Qinglan, I made the seabass you like to eat tonight, please eat more.” Sister-in-law Song said with a smile.
“Thank you, Mrs. Song.” Shen Qinglan’s red lips curled up slightly.
The meal was very quiet, except for Shen Xitong’s slightly proud eyes that glanced at him from time to time.
After the meal, Shen Qinglan stayed for a while and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shen Xitong.
“Sister, don’t leave in a hurry. I recently met Leng Qingqiu through a friend and bought a painting from her. Please help me take a look.”
Shen Qinglan paused before leaving, watched Shen Xitong go upstairs, and then took out a painting.
Hearing Leng Qingqiu’s name, Mr. Shen, Chu Yunrong and Shen Junyu also stayed.
“I only met her recently. I didn’t expect she to be so young.” Shen Xitong smiled broadly and looked at Shen Qinglan with no concealment of the pride in his eyes. “I heard that my sister met Leng Qingqiu’s manager before and asked her to draw a painting for my father’s birthday. I must have a good relationship with her manager.”
I don’t know what kind of medicine Shen Xitong sold in the gourd, but Shen Qinglan nodded in order to show her dignity. As an audience, it’s okay to give her a round of applause. What’s more, I just heard Daniel mention the person who faked painting in her name a few days ago. Now this person knows Shen Xitong. There are too many coincidences, and Shen Qinglan has to doubt it.
Seeing Shen Qinglan nod, the smile on Shen Xitong’s face grew thicker, “I mentioned this to Qingqiu yesterday, but she doesn’t seem to know my sister. I’ll introduce you to her someday? I’ve been in contact with Qingqiu several times. Although she is very low-key, she is easy to get along with. I have a good relationship with her.”
Shen Qinglan said as he took out the painting in his hand. The size of the painting was similar to the one that Shen Qinglan gave to Daniel for the competition. She stepped forward and took a closer look. The man did indeed imitate it, whether it was style or brushwork, 99% of it was imitated. The artist’s skill was evident, but… Shen Qinglan’s eyes paused on the lower left corner of the painting, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“This doesn’t seem to be a painting by Leng Qingqiu.” Shen Junyu suddenly spoke, attracting everyone’s attention.
The smile on Shen Xitong’s face froze and he looked at Shen Junyu, “How is it possible? This painting was just completed by Qing Qiu. She specially gave it to me. How could it be that she didn’t paint it herself?”
“Yes, Jun Yu, isn’t this Leng Qingqiu’s work?” Chu Yunrong also said, she also pays attention to Leng Qingqiu’s works, and is familiar with her style and brushwork.
Mr. Shen looked at the painting with doubts in his eyes but did not speak.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Shen Junyu, who frowned slightly, seeming to be confused.
“Actually, I’m not very sure. I just feel that the style of this painting is not very consistent with Leng Qingqiu.”
Shen Xitong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Shen Junyu really knew something, “Brother, the artist’s mood changes when he paints, so it’s not surprising that works of different styles appear.”
What she said made sense, and Shen Junyu couldn’t say anything else. Just looking at the painting, he always felt that something was wrong. His eyes fell on the signature in the lower left corner, and the doubts in his eyes became stronger.
Shen Qinglan noticed he’s expression, and a smile flashed across his eyes. He didn’t expect that his brother was still a careful man. She himself was Leng Qingqiu, so he naturally knew there was something wrong with the signature in the lower left corner, but Shen Junyu could see it at a glance, which made Shen Qinglan feel quite surprised.
“Tongtong, do you have a good relationship with Leng Qingqiu?” Chu Yunrong asked.
Shen Xitong smiled, “Fortunately, I also met her by chance. We chatted for a few words and found that she was quite interesting. We became familiar with her after going back and forth.”
“Then please invite her to your home if you have a chance. Everyone in the family likes her works.” Chu Yunrong extended the invitation.
Shen Xitong smiled and said, “Okay, Mom, I’ll talk to her another day. It’s just that Qingqiu has been busy participating in an international young painter competition recently, and will also prepare for an art exhibition in the capital. I guess I don’t have much time recently.”
Chu Yunrong felt a little regretful, “That’s such a pity, but if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely invite you to my home.”
Shen Xitong smiled and nodded, “I know, mom.”
Shen Qinglan looked stunned. The other party actually knew about this competition and next year’s art exhibition. The other party seemed to know very clearly about her.
